Visitation
Visiting at Calloway County Jail takes a little planning, but the rules are straightforward once you know where the inmate is housed. The main jail offers scheduled 25-minute visits. Male visitation runs Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, while female visitation is 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. You'll need to call the day before to schedule, during the facility's specified visit windows. Each visit allows up to two adult visitors (children don't count toward that limit), and inmates may receive up to two 25-minute visits per week. Workhouse visitation is different: non-contact behind glass for 45 minutes on Sundays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Schedule by calling on Saturdays between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Bring a photo ID. Minors must be with an adult, phones stay out of the booth, and calls may be recorded.

Calloway County Jail uses CareACell for commissary and care-package services. You'll need to register for a CareACell account (online or by phone at 1.800.622.8166) before adding funds or ordering items. Commissary deposits go through the Care A Cell website, not directly at the jail. Care packages come from the vendor's approved catalog, with products pre-approved to meet facility security standards. One thing to plan for: if the inmate owes money to the jail, 50% of any deposit goes toward outstanding fees instead of being fully available for commissary. Use the CareACell portal to find the inmate, choose the deposit type, and complete payment.
